Let us then check some tips you can do before purchasing a bass guitar in a music store. When you are talking with a salesperson, ask if you can try a few standard brands of bass guitars so you can compare and know what's best for you. Check the material to ensure it is a good quality and choose something that sounds great for any style of music. Study the finish and make sure it is even, with tight seams. It is also a must to ensure that the strings are properly and evenly spaced on the bass guitar's fingerboard. All the strings should have the same distance from each other, especially the G-string with the same distance from the edge of the fingerboard like the E string. It's also crucial to check that the bass guitar's neck is attached properly and securely to the body of the guitar. The neck of a bass guitar can be attached to its body either bolt-on, set-in or neck-through. With bolt-on attachment, the neck is screwed into the body with large screws. For set-in or glued-in, the neck is glued seamlessly into the body for set-in or glued-in. The neck continues through the entire guitar body for neck-through attachment, and its body wings are glued to the sides of the neck. Make sure that the guitar's neck does not shift for bolt-in attachment, as you pull and push it from side to side, and neck and body must be joined solidly.
So for your bass guitar or any other music instrument, we are here to provide everything for you. Feel free to visit our website or homepage to view our great products and services. We are proud to serve you with all of your music needs.Questions About Entertainment You Must Know the Answers To

Luxottica Chief Executive Steps Down After 10 Years
World's Largest Eyewear Maker to Appoint Two CEOs to Replace Andrea Guerra
Italy's Luxottica Group LUX -1.40% SpA, the world's largest eyewear maker, said Monday that Andrea Guerra had stepped down as chief executive after almost 10 years, in a reshuffle that returns founder Leonardo Del Vecchio to a more prominent role.
The company, which makes eyewear for the likes of Chanel and Giorgio Armani and owns brands such as Ray-Ban and Oakley, said it will now be run on a co-CEO model, in which two chief executives will have distinct responsibilities and each will be in charge of a unit. The two units, markets and corporate, will be complemented by an operations role, which will be taken by Massimo Vian, already a Luxottica executive.
The three areas will fall under the supervision of 79-year-old Mr. Del Vecchio, who founded Luxottica in 1961. In his chairman role, Mr. Del Vecchio will head an executive committee made up of the co-CEOs, which will help the executives maintain a unitary strategy.
"We're entering a third phase [of the history] of the company," Enrico Cavatorta, the current chief financial officer, said Monday.
Mr. Cavatorta will take on the role of corporate chief executive. He said the increasing complexity of the business had made a new organizational model necessary.
According to a person familiar with the matter, the new structure had been proposed and decided upon by Mr. Del Vecchio few months ago, as he wanted to return to a strong operational role. He had relinquished the position 10 years ago and handed it to Andrea Guerra.
During Mr. Guerra's years, Mr. Del Vecchio had a limited role in the company's daily management.
For instance, he was informed of an important agreement that the former chief executive struck with Google on the so-called Google Glass, only when it already was completed. Luxottica reached a deal with Google last March, in which Luxottica will design and develop Google's Web-connected eyewear.
"Maybe he would have liked to know it a day or two before," Mr. Cavatorta said Monday. Although Mr. Cavatorta says that this wasn't a reason for friction.
"I want to go back to the company," Mr. Del Vecchio said few months ago, when explaining his vision for the new management structure, according to the person.
In the new structure, Mr. Del Vecchio will be much more present compared with past years, particularly in the transitional phase. But Mr. Cavatorta said that he won't manage day-to-day operations.
"He will only be more with us than in the past…He will have the role of a guide and strategic vision," he said.
Citigroup said in an analyst note that it remains skeptical of the new structure. "[Mr.] Del Vecchio's first priority should be to identifying the right person to replace him as future...Chairman rather than CEO of Markets."
The intention to have a stronger role in the company has triggered clashes between Mr. Del Vecchio and Mr. Guerra in the past few months, as Mr. Guerra dismissed the proposal to be a co-CEO, "under the leadership" of Mr. Del Vecchio, the person added.
Mr. Cavatorta said Monday that Mr. Guerra didn't agree with the change in the executive structure of the company, which led to his departure. He also said the increased powers given to Mr. Del Vecchio aren't a step back for the company.
He said that the company's strategy is unchanged, and it will continue to grow through acquisitions and by broadening its role in emerging markets. Yet the company will have a renewed focus on return on investment, Mr. Cavatorta said.
"It's not going to be a dramatic change in strategy but if in the past we have tolerated to maintain low profitability business divisions…we will now be more severe with ourselves," he said. He added this could refer to either licenses or proprietary brands.
Mr. Cavatorta will take on the Markets Chief Executive role on an interim basis, while the company looks for a suitable candidate. The future CEO, sharing the management of the firm with Mr. Cavatorta, will be external to the company, and the hiring process already has started, the executive said. He hopes the candidate will be identified by the end of September.
A new chief financial officer will be selected within the company's current management.
Mr. Guerra has managed to more than double profit and revenue at Luxottica in almost 10 years. He followed the general strategic direction given to the company by Mr. Del Vecchio, and made acquisitions to establish the eyewear maker on global markets. He strengthened and expanded the company's brand portfolio as well as its licenses. He re-established historic licenses, such as the one with Giorgio Armani which was lost for some years to competitor Safilo, and maintained lucrative contracts with the likes of Chanel. He also developed proprietary brands such as Ray-Ban and Oakley.
It isn't clear what he will do next. Only few months ago, he was tapped by Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi to become the government's industry minister. But he declined the offer.

Merging townships: GOP proposal could change would impact all but 4 in Jay County
+ click to enlarge
The above graphic shows the populations of each township in Jay County based on numbers provided by Stats Indiana, the state's public data utility. Under a bill proposed in the Indiana House of Representatives this year, all townships with a population of fewer than 1,200 would be required to merge with another township by Jan. 1, 2023. (The Commercial Review graphic/Ray Cooney)
Ray Cooney
, Commercial Review
Jay County has 12 townships.
If a bill currently proposed in the Indiana Statehouse becomes law, that number would be reduced to eight, or fewer, by 2023.
House Bill 1005
, which was submitted Monday, would require that all townships with a population of fewer than 1,200 merge with other townships.
That would affect two-thirds of Jay County's 12 townships, and about 300 of the 1,005 throughout the state.
Information from Stats Indiana shows that only Wayne (7,871 residents), Richland (4,485), Bearcreek (1,572) and Penn (1,229) townships in Jay County are above the threshold for merger.
The other eight townships — Knox (501), Wabash (576), Noble (638), Madison (653), Jefferson (763), Pike (894), Jackson (956) and Greene (983) — would all have to merge with one or more other townships in order to reach the required 1,200 residents.
Chuck Huffman, president of Jay County Commissioners, said he believes the bill deserves consideration.
"I think in today's world with all the means of communication and transportation, I'm not sure that township governments really offer anything that we couldn't get with some consolidation," he said. "I would not want a great deal of consolidation, at least at this point."
On the other hand, Knox Township trustee Joseph Gutshall is firmly against such a change. He noted that township trustees and boards handle important local issues such as fire protection and poor relief.
"I, as a voter in Knox Township and Jay County, feel that we need to keep the local government as well as we can," he said. "We still have the same type of work as the bigger townships, just not as much of it.
"The biggest problem that I have is, the farther the government gets from the people, the less the people can have. They need somebody close."
Jay County Council president Jeanne Houchins said she can see the merit to both sides of the discussion. On one hand, she noted, some township trustees work hard and do a lot for their constituents, on the other, some areas could see benefits in terms of pooling resources. It would also save money in eliminating some township trustee and board positions, which are paid.
The bill, proposed by Rep. Cindy Ziemke (R-Oldenburg), is the latest effort to consolidate and/or eliminate townships in the state. It is an idea that was recommended in 2007 in a report the the
Indiana Commission on Local Government Reform
charged by then-Gov. Mitch Daniels to offer ideas for streamlining local government.
Ziemke's measure would require that townships agree to a consolidation plan by July 1, 2020. If a plan is not in place, the
Indiana Department of Local Government Finance
would conduct a survey to suggest townships that would make sense to merge together. If a final plan is not approved by Jan. 1, 2021, townships would automatically merge with the contiguous township with the largest population. (In that example, Knox Township would automatically merge with Richland Township, and Pike would automatically merge with Wayne Township.)
The result for Jay County could range anywhere between four and eight townships, depending on how local groups chose to merge.
Township trustee and board positions would be handled via the 2022 general election, with the new format to be in place by Jan. 1, 2023. (If townships agreed to move forward with the merger earlier, they would have to agree upon trustee and board members at that time.)
Ziemke worked on the proposal in partnership with the
Indiana Township Association
"We have been listening to the folks that are in these chambers tell us that if we do not reform ourselves, that they will do it for us," Indiana Township Association executive director Debbie Driskell told
Indiana Public Media
this week. "So, that brought us to the table to negotiate the best deal that we could, rather than lose our township boards or township government altogether."
Other provisions in the bill include:
•New township boards would be elected at large.
•Townships would be required to prepare a capital improvement plan and would be prohibited from collecting property taxes over a set amount if such a plan was not in place.
•Those rejected for township financial assistance could appeal to county commissioners in certain circumstances.
•Township board salaries would be limited to $5,000 beginning in 2019.

The Mom/Parent NetworkMonday, September 4th, 2017
From Wednesday Mom – Janelle:
When Jack was a baby, I had a group of moms I could count on to ask questions about parenting. My sisters were my go-to ladies, but my local friends were usually immediately available. It was so nice to have the support when a child got sick and ask questions about the best things to do to make them feel better, tips on how to settle down a screaming baby, play dates, and preferences on items my friends thought were good/safe.
When Jack got a little older, and we had our second child, we lived in a new town. The close-knit support from the military wives group was extremely beneficial during those first few months of exhaustion and stress. We were showered with meals, gifts, play dates for Jack, and long term friendships that I am grateful for. Once I felt I had my life back together, I did my best to help out others and make sure they received the same support I did.
Fast forward to today, another new town, and our first attempt at civilian life. We've spent the last year making new friends and neighbors. My boys are developing new friendships that can last even longer, because we don't have to move every 3 years. We're finding the same support here, if not better, just like we did ten years ago. We found a car pool, babysitters, and even neighborly gifts on my doorstep to brighten my day. Our neighbors keep watch over our home when we're gone and check in on us if we are sick or need help. I do my best to reciprocate these acts of kindness. I'm a big believer in karma. It's truly a blessing to have these special people in my life.
Despite the cliché, it takes a village to keep up with schedules, work, and life. I'm very fortunate to be surrounded by the love and support of family and friends. I try to live my life and treat people the way I would want to be treated. I hope I can be a contributing member of our village.

A fair amount of this manifesto has been taken from the book and process entitled From Spark to Flame: Fanning Your Passion & Ideas into Money-making Magazine Articles that Make a Difference. (How's that for a subtitle?)
So, if you're impatient and want to 'jump ahead' or like the feel of a real book in your hands, you can pick up a copy. But I would still encourage you to subscribe to this site either through RSS Feed or via email because I'll be adding additional information including real life examples. I'll also be available to answer questions you post in the comment section.
So, as you can see from the subtitle above, the "one way to make a difference and $ with your writing" is to:
Write for Magazines
Now, let me be clear, I'm saying it's one way. I'm not saying it's the only way…not by a long shot. I'm also not claiming it's necessarily the best way, at least not for everyone. I do know from personal experience it is one viable, proven way to make a difference with your writing while also making some money — good money. Will you become rich and famous doing it? I don't know. I won't make that claim. If rich and famous are your primary goals…well, honestly, I suspect there are many other easier ways to accomplish those goals than writing.
But if you know in your heart that you just 'have to write', it's one of the primary ways you yearn to express yourself, then I encourage you to consider this approach:
Start by writing for magazines.
So, let me answer one question even as you may be asking it in your head? Why write for magazines?
I'm going to give you a few of my own personal reasons and also invite you to post some additional ones that come to mind. After all, I'm still a life coach and helping you to uncover your own reasons for writing is part of this first assignment.
Let me make one last point before giving you my list of reasons. When you read "write for magazines" realize that I'm talking about BOTH print magazines and online publications, which expands an already large market to a huge and growing market.
So, here's why I highly recommend you fan your passion and ideas into money-making magazine articles that make a difference. Well, really several of the reasons to write for magazines can be found right there in the subtitle including:
1. There are many magazines that will pay and pay well for your 'passion-filled' ideas and expertise,
2. Writing those articles is a great way to make a difference.
3. It's also a good way to 'earn as you learn'. Think about it. It's take far less time to research and write a saleable article that might typically run 1500 – 2000 words than it take to write a 200 to 300 page book.
4. It can also be a great way to end up writing a book. You may find that over time a series of the article you've written on a related topic can be reshaped into a book, as happened with my first book, Coaching To Win: Building Your Business Through Building Your Team. Most of that book first appeared as articles I wrote for a professional trade magazine and later became the chapters in the book.
5. One last one. Writing for magazines offer a lot of flexibility. Do you want to start by just having your writing be a hobby that pays. That's cool. You can do that. Or it could be a part time pastime that supplements your other work, and of course, both of these starting points could grow into a full time writing career.
Your Turn
Okay, it's your turn. Post your questions under the comment section. Also add to the list of reasons you might choose to write for magazines. Also post any concerns you have about writing for magazines.

Nothing would make me happier than if we never had to go to Anfield again.
It would be great if they could go and spend a prolonged period in the second division like they have done before. Derby day at Anfield is without doubt one of the worst match days of the season, every year.
Forget the actual match. It's whole experience you have to endure.
It starts with the rehearsed, tiresome, 'five times baby' sub-Aldo rubbish the tele clappers come out with in the hours leading up to kick-off. They then mumble something about a waiting list and the 'unfair fan card system' to explain why they aren't going, and in fact why they haven't been for years. No, they don't actually have a fan card or their name on the waiting list, but that's not the point they tell you.
On your approach to the ground it's the sight of their coaches lining the length of Priory Road (for a home game) and the song books and the foam fingers for sale.
Then the predictable woeful stewarding as we wait about 25 minutes to get in, penned in up against the wall, having to endure over-weight middle aged men waddling past in replica shirts (with name, number and premier league badges of course) over a hoodie, with half and half scarves, Liverpool rucksacks, club shop plastic bags and a camera round their neck or an I-Pad in hand, hurling Soccer AM abuse at us.
Once inside it's the shocking views from about 75% of the seats in the away section (including, for the bargain 47 quid, the scandalous letter box view at the back of the stand where you can't see the pigeon loft end if people stand up). And don't forget the danger of the fans above throwing excrement at you. 48 quid this year for most of the tickets and no doubt breaking the 50 quid barrier next season. Against Modern Football are they?
Trips to Anfield feel like you have mistakenly stumbled into a tribute band night or a football equivalent of the Harry Potter theme park. Cameras everywhere. Tourists, rather than fans, trying to experience the 'famous Anfield atmosphere' they have heard about, all culminating in the choreographed singing of that song. You know the one that Manchester United first sung but discarded, presumably because it's a funeral dirge. Timed for the TV obviously. "Quick get your half and half scarf up. Don't worry if most of you only know the chorus, they won't notice. TV producers will get what they need". The pretence of the Anfield atmosphere continues.
They don't always sit in silence to be fair. The occasional song about Shankly or their beloved Kenny, recently sacked and discarded of course, breaks out (no song for Fagan though as half of them probably think he's the villain in Oliver). These songs referencing the traditions of their club, that many only have a vague understanding and appreciation for, act as an interesting contrast to the neon pink advertising hoarding of their sponsor, Dunkin' Donuts, "official coffee, tea and bakery provider". It's the Liverpool way.

March 2016 has been punctuated by violence. On March 4, a group of terrorists attacked a convent and nursing home run by the Missionaries of Charity, also known as Mother Teresa's Home, in Yemen. Sixteen people, including eight residents, four nuns, and several other volunteers were killed.
This morning the eight-member United States Supreme Court heard the contraceptive mandate cases that were consolidated under the name Zubik v. Burwell (Docket Number 15-191). (See transcript.) They key issue in all the cases was religious employers who rejected the method of receiving the "religious employer exemption" to the Affordable Care Act (2010) which required group health plans and insurance issues to offer plans that provided "approved contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures, and patient education and counseling for all women with reproductive capacity."
On June 9, 2016, California's "End of Life Option Act," signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown last October, will go into effect. Under the law, patients who are at least 18 years old who have been diagnosed by a treating and a consulting physician with a terminal disease expected to result in death within 6 months may request aid-in-dying drugs. Verbal requests must be made 15 days apart and one must be signed, dated, and witnessed by two adults. A mental health assessment is not required unless the physician feels that there may be a mental disorder.

Blaming Mother Nature for Terror Attacks
Using Weather Weapons of Mass Destruction
With the exception of the false flag terror attacks staged on September 11, 2001, government-sponsored acts of weather warfare and environmental terrorism are exceedingly more deadly and destructive.
Consider that the current estimate for the damage caused to the Texas alone is already estimated to be $180 billion due to Hurricane Harvey. Opportunities for disaster capitalism have always played a significant part in the decision process to wage weather warfare. Similarly, predatory capitalism has frequently driven the decisions to perpetrate egregious acts of environmental terrorism (e.g. BP Gulf oil spill)

GOP presidential candidates Donald Trump, Gov. Mike Huckabee, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), and Gov. Jeb Bush made several statements following Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) dropping out of the race for Speaker of the House, suggesting a tough, conservative choice for the people.
GOP frontrunner Donald Trump posted on Twitter, "Great, Kevin McCarthy drops out of SPEAKER race. We need a really smart and really tough person to take over this very important job!"
Trump previously had said he didn't think McCarthy was tough enough to be a good Speaker of the House.
"I would like to see someone that's very tough and that can negotiate with the Democrats, and I don't know that he's that person," Trump previously stated. "We need somebody that's a very, very tough, smart, cunning person. I don't know that that's him, and obviously this statement hurt him pretty badly in the eyes of some, unfortunately."
Huckabee responded to the news that McCarthy dropped out of the race by suggesting Congress needs to listen to the conservatives that elected them. Huckabee said:
The race for Speaker of the House is not about Kevin McCarthy, it's about burning the corrupt Washington political machine to the ground and rebuilding our country so America can win again. We all fought hard to elect conservatives to Congress, but the campaign promises made weren't kept – because they're beholden to Wall Street, K-Street and the donor class. It's time to elect a speaker who will lead Congress and do what we conservatives sent them there to accomplish.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) joined Fox News after the news broke about McCarthy dropping out, saying, "Conservatives across the country are unhappy with Congress" and about the Republican-controlled House and Senate not doing enough to push back against President Obama.
Even during a campaign event, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush took time to weigh in on the Speaker race, speaking highly of Rep. Daniel Webster (R-FL) – the candidate for Speaker chosen by the House Freedom Caucus – a group of 30 to 40 conservative members.
Dan Webster is one of my closest friends inside the political process. He is a principle, centered guy. You will never meet someone with the integrity of Dan Webster. He served as Speaker of the House – the Florida House – and was in the state senate. I worked with him, he's an incredible guy.
Bush suggested that others might now step forward, but that he hopes Washington focuses on solving problems for the people.

The Bulrathi are one of the major civilizations in Master of Orion.
Background[edit | edit source]
Master of Orion[edit | edit source]
Master of Orion II: Battle at Antares[edit | edit source]
Master of Orion 3[edit | edit source]
This game does not exists.
Master of Orion: Conquer the Stars[edit | edit source]
Ingame Biography[edit | edit source]
The harsh Ursa System is home to the Bulrathi, a ferocious warrior race committed to the preservation of nature. Fearless and brutal in combat, they rely on their strength to overcome opponents while their heavily armored fleets withstand wave after wave after wave of enemy attacks.
Fiercely territorial, they are usually reluctant to strike the first blow, but they will go toe to toe with anyone who wanders into their domain.
Their rich spiritual life revolves around the Hag, an elder who speaks for nature itself. It was the will of the Hag that pushed the Bulrathi into space, as they sought to place the entire galaxy under their protection, by any means necessary.
Website Biography[edit | edit source]
While the Bulrathi may care for the welfare of lesser creatures and the well being of planets, they are still a hot-headed and aggressive race prone to starting intergalactic brawls. They are known as brutal conquerors throughout the galaxy, using their raw strength to get their way on the galactic stage. The reckless force behind their policies seems ironic when paired with the pure seeming intentions they promote. At the end of the day, the Bulrathi only respect those who can match them in battle and those who do not back away from adversity.
The Bulrathi Emperor exemplifies the contradictory nature of the Bulrathi: noble protector and ruthless destroyer. The Emperor is a dictator counseled by various political organizations which serve the military, economic, social, and other necessary needs of an empire. Thousands of years ago, the planet of Ursa, home world to the Bulrathi, was ravaged by warfare and disastrous environmental policies. A small band of Bulrathi scientists devoted their lives to developing rare machines that could breathe life back onto the damaged planet... bringing about one of the earliest known terraforming events in the modern universe. The process was a success and Ursa was successfully terraformed into a sustainable planet once more, but the technology was lost to the Bulrathi over many generations that made a mockery of "weak" scientists.
The terraforming was a major event in the collective psyche of the Bulrathi. The death and resurrection of their home planet is remembered primarily through their belief system. Their past mistakes have made them into protectors of the defenseless and champions of planetary protection policies. The wounds of time have not healed for the Bulrathi, and they will bring ruin to those who do not heed their warnings.

Series: Special Publications of The Canadian Mineralogist Volume: 10
By: David London(Author)
Mineralogical Association of Canada
London's book gives us an excellent and thorough review of the current state of the art in pegmatite studies. In Part I, Geology, London provides a primer on the mineralogy, geology, and classification of pegmatites. But the center of gravity of this treatise is in Part II, Origins, which consolidates London's petrological model of internal pegmatite evolution, and compares it with other concepts.

Your library regulations
We have rules to help ensure the smooth running of our library service and to provide a welcoming and friendly environment. Our resources, including online content, are for educational use only.
Our Libraries Manager may change services, such as opening hours or access to content whenever necessary. Equipment such as laptops can only be used within the library and must not be taken outside of the library. The Libraries Manager can remove your right to borrow.
Borrowing of books, journals, DVDs and equipment
Your student identity card is your library card. Items will only be issued to you with a valid student card. Students who have forgotten their card cannot borrow any items.
STUDENTS: Students can borrow 10 items at any one time.
STAFF: Membership of the library is open to all members of staff. Staff may borrow 20 items at any one time.
You are responsible for the items on your account.
Overdue items & fines
Students are charged at the following fines rates if they allow items they have borrowed to become overdue:
4 week loans: 10p per day up to a maximum of £2
1 week loans: 10p per day up to a maximum of £2
1 day loans: 50p per day up to a maximum of £5
Renewal of items
You can only renew overdue library items once your fines have been paid and cleared. You can renew items twice online without the item being seen by library staff. After this, you should bring the items you wish to renew into the library to be renewed. Long overdue items, where the fine has reached £2 per item, 20 days+, can only be renewed on library staff seeing the item.
Lost, damaged and stolen goods
If you lose or badly damage items you are responsible for paying the full replacement cost of the item. Alternatively, you can provide the library with a replacement copy of the item. If your items are stolen we will expect you to provide a police report as proof that these items have been stolen and we will remove the cost of replacement from your account.
As a student of City of Glasgow College, you are responsible for:
- Keeping your student identity card safe and not letting anyone else use it
- Keeping anything you borrow in good condition and not passing them to anyone else
- Returning anything you borrow on time. We will try to send you reminder notices but you should not rely on these. All items are date stamped with the return date on the first page
- Paying for items you lose or damage. Our books, journals, DVDs and equipment are college property. In line with the student code of conduct, you will be financially liable for any damages or loss of college property.
Return/payment of items that have been invoiced
Students who have long overdue materials will be invoiced by the College Finance department. A note indicating this will be recorded on each invoiced item and on your library account. Once returned or paid for, your account will be cleared and you are welcome to borrow items from our libraries.
Fines disputes/claim returns
In the rare case of a dispute over fines or claim returns, the matter can be referred to a librarian. If the item is on your account and not on our shelves you are responsible for the items.
Your library spaces at City and Riverside Campuses
To keep a good working environment for everyone, we encourage you to not:
- Eat in the library. This is to ensure equipment is available in a good state for all our students and that collections are not damaged and/or become unclean. You may bring drinks into the library but they must be covered.
- Make too much noise (including talking on mobile phones). It is important to be respectful of other students studying.
- Do anything else that disturbs or distracts other students and staff that are studying and working in the library
Please be aware that Level 5 at City Campus is for quiet study only. It also contains a silent study room where talking is not permitted. We would encourage use of the designated collaboration spaces in each library for group discussion and studying. If the Libraries Manager, or senior members of staff present considers your behaviour unnacceptable, they can suspend you from using library services. We will assume you have read and understood the student code of conduct and report this behaviour to your Curriculum Head. We, as a library service, try our utmost to encourage students to keep noise to a minimum - please help our teams by alerting them to any unnecessary disruptions or unnacceptable levels of noise.
IT equipment and software
When you use college equipment, you agree to the Acceptable Use Policy. Software on our equipment has been purchased for educational use only.
Entry to our City Campus Library after 5pm is by door swipe access using your student identity card. As documented in the student code of conduct policy, you must carry your card at all times for physical access to college services and as a form of identification. A member of staff can legally ask you to show your card to confirm your access to the library service and as a form of identification.
We have electronic security systems in place to stop theft of library items. If the alarm sounds, please check you have had all your borrowed items issued to you. If it is a false alarm, go to one of our service points and library staff will check any library items you may have. In the event of an emergency, leave the building immediately, following any instructions you have been given or see on notices.

A guy comes in to a bar and orders a double whiskey. He drinks it and looks in his pocket. Then he orders another one, drinks it and looks in his pocket again.
This is repeated a dozen times before the bartender asks him what he is doing.
He replies, "In my pocket I have a picture of my wife. When she gets good looking, I quit drinking..."
A Congressman was once asked about his attitude toward whiskey. "If you mean the demon drink that poisons the mind, pollutes the body, desecrates family life, and inflames sinners, then I'm against it.
But if you mean the elixir of Christmas cheer, the shield against winter chill, the taxable potion that puts needed funds into public coffers to comfort little crippled children, then I'm for it. This is my position, and I will not compromise."
Late one Friday night the policeman spotted a man driving very erratically through the streets of Dublin. They pulled the man over and asked him if he had been drinking that evening.
"Aye, so I have. 'Tis Friday, you know, so me and the lads stopped by the pub where I had six or seven pints. And then there was something called "Happy Hour" and they served these mar-gar-itos which are quite good. I had four or five o' those. Then I had to drive me friend Mike home and O' course I had to go in for a couple of Guinness - couldn't be rude, ye know. Then I stopped on the way home to get another bottle for later.." And the man fumbled around in his coat until he located his bottle of whiskey, which he held up for inspection.
The officer sighed, and said, "Sir, I'm afraid I'll need you to step out of the car and take a breathalyzer test."
Indignantly, the man said, "Why? Don't ye believe me?!"
A guy walks into a bar with his dog and says, "I'll have a Scotch and water and my dog would like a whiskey sour."
The bartender says, "Sorry, we don't allow animals in here."
The dog replies, "Hey, I'm tired of being discriminated against. Just give me a drink."
The bartender says, "Oh, no, not another ventriloquist with the old talking dog trick. Both of you, get out of here!"
"No, no, no, this isn't a trick, I promise you," says the man, "I tell you what, I'll go for a walk around the block and you talk to Rover here." The man leaves and the bartender sees him turn the corner.
"Now, can I have my drink." says the dog.
The bartender is amazed. "Sure you can and it's on the house! Listen, can you do me a favour? My wife works next door at the cafe. It'll make her day if you go in and order a cup of coffee. Here's ten bucks and you can keep the change afterwards."
"Okay." says the dog and he takes the ten dollars and leaves. Ten minutes go by and the dog doesn't come back. The owner returns and asks where is the dog. So both of them go off to see what happened to the dog.
As they approach the cafe, they see Rover going at it hot and heavy with a French poodle in the alley between the bar and cafe.
The owner shouts, "Rover! What are you doing! You've never done this before!"
The dog shrugged. "Hell, I've never had any money before."

Lately, there have been several news stories about business owners getting upset and even trying to take legal action against customers that post online negative reviews about their business. Last year, we wrote about Dr. Henry who did more harm to her business than was done by the initial review by going after the reviewer. More recently, Gutter King in Austin, Texas filed a lawsuit in which they are trying to go after the reviewer for allegedly making false claims.
Customer reviews seem to be getting more press attention for the simple reason that they are becoming increasingly important to small businesses. BIGresearch has determined that 92% of prospective customers research businesses online and customer reviews are a primary tool prospects use for deciding on a business. According to Marketing Sherpa, customer reviews can increase customer acquisition rates 20-87%!
On the flip side of positive reviews helping to drive more business, are small businesses reacting to bad reviews and hurting themselves. The reality is that a bad review in the context of good reviews adds credibility to the positive reviews and gives prospects more confidence in them. Moreover, positive reviews are 7 times more common than bad reviews and are also read more.
If you do get a bad review, rather than escalate the situation, handle the review appropriately and it could actually help your business thrive.

This traditional layout reflects all that is great about golf in the Carolina Sandhills – rolling emerald fairways lined with longleaf pines, natural areas highlighted with love grass and perfectly manicured course conditions. The greens'
large roll-off areas and significant undulations offer a glimpse into the classic Donald Ross architecture seen throughout the Sandhills of North Carolina. Davis Love remarked, "Anderson Creek is one of the finest courses I've played, and is more than ready to host a major golfing event." The club's proximity to Interstate 95 as well as to the historic village of Pinehurst, make Anderson Creek a must play for golfers traveling to the area.

Southern Pines Golf Club
Southern Pines, NC
Architect: Donald Ross
Opened in 1906
The Sandhills Secret
Southern Pines Golf Club is an old Donald Ross design, a short course, but still a good challenge. A benefit of Southern Pines is that you get to play a great course, great layout, without paying the premium price of other Ross designs. Enjoy the most traditional aspects of the game of golf - rolling terrain, uninterrupted shot making and a journey back to golf from its beginnings. As a classic layout, it is challenging for golfers of every skill level, with few forced carries of great length and many greens open in front to allow for the bump-and-run style that was characteristic when the first 9-holes were built in 1906. It is rare to find a Donald Ross course in such original condition, where no re-routing, no housing, and little re-working have affected the course in its 100 year history. Southern Pines Country Club is a walkers delight and is ideal for winter play.
Talamore Golf Resort
Southern Pines, NC
Architect: Reese Jones
Opened in 1991
Located in the heart of the area on Midland Road and designed by Rees Jones, this course is visually striking & exceptionally enjoyable. Considered one of the top courses in the area and friendliest staff.
The New Course at Talamore…Remastered
The goal of the 25th anniversary Remastering Plan was to reimagine the tract through a clever combination of restoration and rejuvenation projects that unlock the course's hidden potential.
Greens are being restored to the original Rees Jones 1991 design, resulting in a 20 percent larger putting surface, and the addition of generous 60-inch Tif Eagle Bermuda green collars. The new Champion Bermuda putting surfaces will provide significantly better playing conditions than its bent grass predecessor and will put Talamore's greens on par with the other top courses in the area that have already made the switch to Bermuda greens – Pinehurst No. 2, No. 8, Country Club of North Carolina, Pine Needles, Mid Pines and Tobacco Road.
Playability and Pace of Play Enhanced
The course feels and is bigger with the fairways opened up, limited rough and the removal of excessive bunkering, with 75% of all bunkers eliminated. Improved cart access and the reshaping of certain areas to help cart flow will increase pace of play by at least 30 minutes per round.
Unique Challenges Introduced At Talamore
"Scotland and the NC Sandhills Collide" with the addition of 12 strategically placed, old-world style sod wall bunkers. Talamore is the only course in the Village of Pinehurst/Southern Pines area with multiple sod wall bunkers and soon to come sod wall bunker cams, providing a live feed of bunker action straight to the Clubhouse for spectator enjoyment.

Opened in 1998
3 1/2 s
"Thriller Golf" best Mike Strantz's masterpiece. Uncommon beauty & imagination feeds the soul while challenging every aspect of your game. You'll talk about this one for years to come! Sanford, NC
Village of Pinehurst golf has never been the same since the opening of Tobacco Road. Described as "Pine Valley on steroids" and "golf's rock and roll thrill ride", Tobacco Road Golf Club is certainly unique. Carving his way through an old sand quarry, the late Mike Strantz created one of the most celebrated and talked about courses in the world. Consistently rated amongst the nation's best, Tobacco Road showcases 18 drop-dead signature holes set amidst rolling Sandhills and golden love grass. The scene is so breath-taking you will want to bring along your camera to forever capture the greatness of "The Road".
We feel rewarding accomplishments are seldom easily gained but pulled off with the odds seemingly against you. Playing at a length of 6500 yards from the Ripper tees, Tobacco Road was rated as high as second in slope in both North and South Carolina just behind the famed Ocean Course at Kiawah Island, site of the 1991 Ryder Cup. Therefore, we do not guarantee your best round the first trip 'round The Road, but we are certain you will remember the ride! Simply put, Tobacco Road will be the most fascinating, heart-racing and fulfilling golf experience you will ever play.
